‘The annual Congregational meéeting of Byrnes Presbyterian church, Timâ€" mins was held in the mhuth n Monday evening. Reports of . the year‘s work were received from the various departments, including the Bession, the Board of Managers, the Ladies Aid and the Sunday Schoo!l. All departments showed successful maragement and progress for the year. There was a general discusâ€" sion regarding the future work of the chumh, the question of the need for 3.

WEDNESDAY, JAN. 30TH, 1924 DEATH OF MR. RK. B. WATSON DIED THIS MORNING The Royal Commission on Pulpâ€" wood held sessions at Cochrane last week. iMost of the witnesses who gave evidence at Cochrane were opâ€" posed to any embargo, claiming it would work against the interests of the settlers. D. C. Chenier was an exception, he declaring that an emâ€" bargo would bring mills to the disâ€" trict. This witness admitted he knew of a system under which cars measurâ€" ing 8 feet 6 inches were allowed as 8 feet only for export, while local buyâ€" ers were allowed full width. A settler named â€" MceGuire, of Driftwood, thought the present price of $6.50 per eord was not profitable to the settler, and he declared $7 should be the minâ€" imum if there was to be any profit. J. (G. Dent blamed the Ontario Governâ€" ment for low prices because of its policy in letting the large companies secure extensive limits. In reply to the latter it is only fair to say that the present Minister of Lands Forâ€" ests has given particular attention to this matter, and has guarded against the big conceres monopolizing the limits as well as providing arrangeâ€" ments whereby the «smaller dealers can secure limits that do not overtax their resources. PULPWOOD EMBARGO OPPOSED IN COCHRANE THE PORGUPINE ADVANGE Published every Wednesday by FALLS DEFEAT TIMMINS INTERMEDIATES AGAIN Only the required six players were mustered to go down to the Falls last Mednesday for the second match in the Intermediate series, so the local team had to play without a single substitute to relieve. This was a chief handicap. Another, of course, was that the Falls have a fine team, fast and wellâ€"balanced. The sceore at the final gong was 10 to 3, or 12 to 3. Bome of the Timmins boys say 10 to 3, and the Broke Hustler puts it 12 to 3. But what‘s a couple of goals between friends. In any cease, however, the score by no means represented the play. Even with a complete team it is likely that the Falls would have won, having a pretty classy team, but with substitutes to relieve when needed Timmins would have made them travel some. As it was, the Falls had no walkâ€"over, nor as easy a time as the score might suggest. Al the Timmins team worked hard throughout the game and finished strong, the three goals to the local team‘s credit being put in during the last period. Mr. Rene Foumier refereed the match. The lineâ€"up was as follows‘â€"Iroquois Fallsâ€"Powers, goal; Dunfield and (Leelair, defence; €Cybulski, Gauthier, Gariepy, forâ€" wards MdéConomy and Dorsehener, spares.

While there was a general opinion at first that Primak had gone suddenâ€" ly insane while working underground and had attacked the two men in a frenzy, there was not much at the inquest to support this theory. The supposition of a quarrel resulting in Primak attacking the two unfortunâ€" ate men is more tenable. and passed sway on Tuesday. An incuest was held at South Porâ€" eup‘re Irst week into the death of Mika ~Bearnoy, m Pole, employed as runner, who met death by being struck on the head and face with a steel bar and a shovel on the same cecasion that Egnatinn received the injuries that resulted later in his death. The jury‘s verdiet was to the effect that Barney‘s death was due to blows from a shovel and a steel bar wielded by John Primak, a ‘Russian mucker at the Dome. ‘Primak, who was arrested by Chief C. Melnnis has been taken to North Bay to await trial on a murder charge at the next assizes at Cochrane. There is no FINE MUSICAL PROGRAMME BY THEE ORPHEUS TRIO QOne of the most attractive musical moorimmes ever given in Timmins was that preseuted by the Orpheus Trio, of HsrtSord, Conn., at the Presbyterian church on Saturday evening last. Despite the inclement weather and the fact that Saturday evening is not a popular oceasion for concert events, the church was well filled. All present regretted that cirâ€" cumstances left no other choice than to hold the event on Saturday and that this fact and other conditions prevented many from enjoying what proved to be a perfect musical treat. iThere were sixteen numbers on the programme and every number was Iinsistent]y and persistently encored. }Indeed. it appeared as if the audiâ€" ence could not get enough of the fine music furnished by the gifted artists of the Orpheus Trio. The trio is composed of Mrs. Ada Bartlett Sims, |Miss Edla Sims and Mrs. Myrtle Case Runde. Mrs. Sims and Miss Sims are former residents of Timmins with an established musical reputation here, and Mrs. Runde made many friends during the visit to town of the Orpheus Trio. (Mrs. Sims is an accomplished pianist and accomparâ€" ist, and her piano solos Saturday evening were a genuine delight to the musicâ€"lovers present. ‘‘Hexentanz‘‘ ((MeDowell), Waltz (Chopin}, and ‘‘Hark, Hark the Lark‘‘ (Schubertâ€" Liszt), were among the numbers renâ€" dered by Mrs. Sims with rare skill and sympathetic interpretation. Mrs. Myrtle Case Runde has a soprano voice of especial sweetness and wide range. She was partrcularly suceessâ€" ful in her interpretation of the lyric type of song, an uncommon felicity of expression and understanding adâ€" ding to the beauty of a,. wellâ€"trained voice.

The ‘Northern News â€" refers to the special excellence of the concert and says a programme of fifteen vocal and instrumental numbers was submitted and the artists were generous in their response to encores. The Orpheus Trio, of Hartford, Conn., ((Mrs. Sims and (Miss Edla Sims, formerly of Timmins, and Mrs. Runde), delighted a large audience at A typographeal error in The Adâ€" vance last week â€" mentioned **Miss Ella Sims*"‘ as one of the members of the Orpheus ‘Trio, It should have been **‘Miss Edla Sims.‘‘* iMiss Edla Sims was formerly a resident of Timâ€" mins, and will be remembered as a voung lady with high promise as a musician. Those hearing the Orâ€" heus Trio on the visit of the Hartâ€" ford Conn,, musicians to the North Land will agree that the promise has been fulfilled, the work of Miss Edla Sims as a violinist being especially pleasing. The Toronto Star would have it apâ€" pear that the hockey players in the North Land are a rough lot. like the rest of the people in this desperate country. â€" However, as usual, The Star does not seem â€" to agree with the facts. North Land hockey players have to go South to dev elop tempers and _ tfemperaments. The North Bay Nugget last week says:â€" ‘"Red‘‘ Green figured in two fist fights in three days, in Toronto Wedâ€" nesday and in Ottawa Saturday. Just when or where ‘*‘Red‘‘ acquired his pugilistic tendencies it is hard to figâ€" ure out, for while he played amateur hockey, when there was any battling to be done, ‘‘Red"‘ was the best little sideâ€"stepper on the two teams.
